Insects whose Features Strkingly Resem-
BILE Those of Other Insects.


BILE Those of Other Insects.
Some insects have deceptive resem-
blance to members of the vegetable
world, either for the purpose of protect
ing themselves or for that of decoying
their prey. But more wonderful SIM
ulation is that of the features of other
insects. There is in Borneo sand
wasp which is addicted to the habit of
devouring crickets, but there is also q
species of cricket which exactly repro
duces the appearance of its enemy, so
that it can even associate with it un-
discovered. A species of mantis imi-
tates the white ant. and mixing with
the family, like one of its own members,
quietly devours fat termite, from time
to time. Flies often dwell rs unbidden
guests in the nests and hives of wild
honey-bees. They are belted and
bearded in the self-same pattern as
their unconscious hosts, but their larvae
pay for the hospitality they steal by
devouring the young grubs of the hive.
Beetles often initiate hornets, since
the latter are insects to which birds in
search of animal food prefer to give u
very wide berth. Even the mimicry of
singing insects is sometimes per-
formed by innocent little creatures
quite destitute of any such means of
defence. A common insect, known in
England rs the devils coach-horse,
throws up its tail in the aggressive
fashion of scorpion, when irritated,
but it has no hint of sting. In its
warlike attitude it is exceedingly alarm
ing, not only to boys and girls, but to
chickens and birds. The bumble-bee
flies, which are inoffensive little crea-
lures. initiating the wild bee, fit about
and buzz angrily in the sunlight, quite
after the fashion of the insect they copy,
and gain an undeserved reputation of
tierceness. Certain beetles have become
modified to resemble wasps, even to the
extent of losing their solid waists for
others of ultra-fashionable slenderness,
and others, which mimic bees, have
| acquired useless little tufts of hair on
their shanks, to represent the pollen
gathering apparatus of the true bees,
A curious case of imitation is that
of two species of Malayan orioles,
which are almost exact counterparts
of two varieties of honey-suckers. The
latter are such fierce birds as to bs
avoided by all their feathered neighbor'
and thus the orioles find their owl
deceptive plumage IA great protection

The sugar trade OF Batavia has
taken great stride since 1880, the pro-
duction increasing year after year. The
crop of 1884 was the largest ever known.
and that of the present year it is ex-

The hop crop last year was about
$4,000 tons, while the estimated con-
sumption is $1,000 tons. leaving SUR
plus of 10000 tons. Yet, as the hop
crop is sometimes very uncertain. prices

close the window, and let go the rope. She
would not be missed until noon, when it
would be impossible to know during whose
watch she had made her escape. 1t might
be supposed she had committed suicide, as
she had frequently threatened to do, and
might have done, by throwing herself into
the Bosporus through trap in the floor Of
o boathouse near by.
She did not speak nor evince any terror,
but trusted us entirely. AS we heard foot
steps rapidly approaching, and feared pur-
suit or q meeting with street marauders,
we lost no tina in reaching the gate. The
guard opened it Immediately. The word
"American'' had charm for them, es.
pecially as it was followed by q handful Of
pasters thrown at them when the gate was
opened. Ipresume they imagined We did
it in our drunken fun, but 1t was really to
draw their attention from our companion.
After we had passed through locked the
gate and threw away the key. The guards
were too busy picking up the money to heed
q laundering at the gate after we had gone
on. We did not reach our boats too soon,
for we could hear muttering voices and
tramping fee, close behind US. With muf-
fled oars we pulled for my friends brig.
We had proceeded not more than fifty yards
from the shore when we heard our pur-
suers jumping into boats at the landing.
Who they were we could not tell, but they
had not the customary lights with them to
indicate that they were honest citizens.
The extreme darkness favored our flight
among the many vessels anchored In the
harbor, most Of which had their anchor
lights up. My friends vessel had two
lights in the main rigging as q private
signal. These were put out Is soon as We
reached the deck.
Entering the cabin, we again saw the
face OF the lady. AS have before said,
she was the most beautiful woman had
ever seen. / could not help feeling that
my friend was not the handsome fellow
